Why don't you cry that Gambas, for example, dead, because it also uses Qt3? Why Gambas is still not thrown away from OpenSUSE? Why other Qt3-based apps like QCad, OProfile etc? I think that Qt3 is 'dead' is only a pretext to get rid of KDE3 and never applied to other Qt3-based software.
And.. guess what the chatter was a year or more ago over at QCad... hey.. QT3 is dead upstream.. what do we do about porting to QT4? QCAD as early as the beginning of 2009 was ported to QT4.
Hmmm... what are they doing over in OProfile development.. oh look.. porting to QT4 (started around middle of last year). Gee I wonder why? Maybe it's because QT3 is EOL.
Well now.. lets go look into Gambas... oh wow... they don't do development on gb.qt anymore. All development is done on gb.qt4. Hmmm interesting... I wonder what relationship gb.qt4 has to QT3.....
Is there a common theme here? I'm sure it's there somewhere...
Basically Ilya.. your examples are useless to prove your point... in fact they proved everyone else's point. Each and every one of your examples is either already ported to QT4 or in the process of being ported. The developers all were deep into QT4 by no later than the middle of 2009.... and most were stating on their mailing lists by June 2009, that they were no longer developing on QT3.
A simple Google search revealed that.

C. just how long is this stuff going to go on ?
I have used SUSE since about version 5 something and subscribed to this list since theh.
I have never read a more utterly useless discussion.
could somebody make it stop ?
Please

Hahaha welcome to the "utterly useless" discussion! I guess you never figured out that joining a discussion is about the dumbest possible way to end it. You make it stop be NOT participating in it. Except you can't "make" it stop. All you can do is not add your own interest and wait and hope for others to eventually do the same. Posting "You all shut up about this topic I don't happen to care about." is not only inexcusably rude and offensive, it's also _participating_ and _contributing_ to the very thing you profess to be utterly useless. And of course it also causes responses like mine which are surely even less interesting to you. Pretty idiotic tactic all around I'd say. Yes this post of mine adds to the thread too but the difference is I have no problem with this thread so there is nothing hypocritical or ironic at all about that. I, as neither a ked3 nor kde4 nor gnome user, am actually reasonably interested in the various points being raised in this discussion. Not all are actually very interesting, but the few that are, are, and the rest don't cost me anything to ignore. To me it's not about KDE3 or 4. To me it's about watching the world at large painfully agonizingly slowly accrete wisdom.
